With all Postfix versions, you would set relayhost to a name that
resolves to multiple IP addresses (in DNS or /etc/hosts). In my
first 10+ years in IBM I had:
relayhost = $mydomain
i.e. use the MX records for the local domain.
Later I had to change that to
relayhost = [na.relay.ibm.com]
i.e. use the A records for a regional mail cluster.

Having multiple servers helps.
With Postfix 3.0.0 you could use this:
sender_dependent_relayhost_maps = randmap:{[host1], [host2]}
You could even list host1 and host2 different numbers of times
to get a load split different from 50/50.
